8 soft apples

10-15 kumquats

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 Tbsp brown sugar

½ cup apple juice

Peel, core and slice apples in to large chunks. Slice the kumquats and remove the seeds. Add them to the slow cooker and stir with all the other ingredients.
